My Oxymatrine intake and my personal recovery

What if your experience is simply the continual gradual recovery process and has actually nothing to do with any antiviral treatment? You were 6 and climbed to 7.5 in two years, and this year climbed 1 point. A move from 7.5 to 8.5 is 14% improvement, compared to a climb of 1.5 (my case) to say 4 which would be a 166% improvement. The number are a bit arbitrary but I'm trying to illustrate a point. Good luck with your recovery either way

Does anybody know if Oxymatrine and Arbidol (umifenovir) can be taken togehter? Or are there any adversary effects so that these two drugs inhibit each other's effect?

Just throwing out a guess here. Increasing antibody levels following treatment is sometimes seen in Lyme disease. I noticed the same while attempting to treat a supposed chronic mycoplasma infection. After a month of antibiotics and some natural antibacterials, IgG titers rose quite a bit, which confused my doctor. It may be that the supplements you are taking are strengthening your immune system, hence it would be mounting a stronger response at whatever chronic infections are present.
